Human History Rewritten From This Day Forward!

Twenty seconds later, another Songstress was slain. Her posture was similar to the last, yet there were still subtle differences.

It is conceivable that the Songstress is actually a Mystery Calamity composed of thirteen distinct individuals. Their abilities are identical, forming a complete Level 4 Mystery Calamity.

The Songstress, whose killing rule is based on sound, can also induce people to make noise. Obstacles like walls cannot hinder them, and as a Mystery Calamity possessing intelligence, they can move their positions collectively.

This makes the Songstress a natural disaster for humanity, an entity that is incredibly difficult to oppose.

In terms of destructive power, the Songstress might not actually reach the level of certain Level 3 Mystery Calamities, but because the threat they pose to humanity is so great—frequently slaughtering villages and wiping out towns—the Songstress is classified as a Level 4 Mystery Calamity.

The calamity level of a Mystery Calamity is always determined by the threat it poses to humanity.

Some Mystery Calamities possess power that could easily destroy a city or trigger massive earthquakes, but because various limitations prevent them from directly unleashing their abilities to threaten humanity—or because they can be controlled—their assigned level might only be Level 2 or even Level 1.

If one were to face such a Mystery Calamity directly, it is possible that even Artoria, at her current strength, would be unable to cope.

Therefore, for Artoria—or rather, for the Artoria controlled by Su Yun—the grading system currently used by humanity to determine Mystery Calamity levels does not apply here.

The Songstress is exactly this kind of existence: a Mystery Calamity whose abilities are an unsolvable, fatal threat to ordinary people, yet to the current Artoria, they are merely a group of disgusting mobs.

Twenty-six seconds later, another Songstress was killed.

Seventeen seconds later, one more was slain.

At this point, this intelligent Mystery Calamity seemed to understand the meaning of fear and actually began to contract its power, preparing to flee.

As its Mystery Calamity domain began to shrink, the electric lights in the headquarters of the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasure Agency flickered on one by one.

However, Su Yun would not let this thing escape; otherwise, the two thousand Fantasy Points consumed would have been wasted.

Thus, under Su Yun's control, Artoria performed a very savage maneuver—she slammed her shoulder into the wall, shattering it as easily as if it were tofu.

With a continuous, thunderous roar, Artoria smashed through seven walls in succession, charged out of the headquarters building, and caught up to the Songstresses who had gathered together to flee.

The remaining seven, all here!

The moment the two sides met, the seven Songstresses floating in mid-air let out a crisp, synchronized song.

The originally pleasant melody resonated under the combination of these seven voices, becoming distorted and sharp. It seemed to produce a certain vibration that rippled directly outward.

Although it did not cause damage to the environment, the living creatures that heard the sound—including those tiny insects—instantly felt a tremor within their bodies, followed by an internal explosion.

Clearly, this is another killing method of the Songstress, one no longer bound by a killing rule, but a technique devised through its own intelligence.

In the headquarters building in the distance, many people were affected; they felt extremely unwell and began to cough up blood.

However, because of the great distance, they did not drop dead on the spot.

Su Yun also saw Artoria's health bar decreasing bit by bit. In the view he could see, Artoria's body was also showing the effects of taking hits.

Clearly, the Songstress's attack posed a threat to Artoria as well. Although the health lost was minimal, it did indeed cause damage.

Therefore, Su Yun did not hesitate any longer. Since the Songstresses had gathered, he would finish them all off.

The next moment, Su Yun unleashed another of Artoria's skills—Wind King's Hammer!

This is the attack mode of Artoria's Noble Phantasm, the Wind King's Barrier.

The Wind King's Barrier is a barrier that covers the blade by using layers of wind to change the refraction of light, which is the reason why the weapon in Artoria's hand is invisible.

The Wind King's Hammer condenses the power of the Wind King's Barrier and unleashes it in one burst, forming a shockwave of airflow that rages like thousands of blades.

Artoria suddenly leaped up, reaching the Songstresses hovering twenty meters in the air with lightning speed, and then swung her weapon horizontally with great force.

The Wind King's Hammer transformed into a terrifying storm of airflow, and the shockwave imbued with magical power swept directly toward the Songstresses.

In an instant, the fragile Songstresses, who had high offense but low defense, were all torn to shreds in the roaring storm.

At this moment, the effect of the Wind King's Barrier was temporarily canceled, revealing the weapon held by Artoria.

It was a knight's sword, crafted from unknown materials, its blade shimmering with golden radiance and carrying a faint particle effect, full of holiness and brilliance.

However, this brilliance lasted for less than three seconds before fading away.

Because the power of the Wind King's Barrier re-condensed, concealing the Holy Sword once more.

At the same time, Artoria had landed, holding the sword in one hand, standing majestically on the ground in a classic pose.

In reality, this was because Su Yun had stopped controlling Artoria, as he was staring intently at the combat settlement screen on the right side of the screen.

The mission display showed that the progress of eliminating the Mystery Calamity Songstress had reached 13/13, and the word "Complete" was displayed.

At this point, a normal game would proceed to the combat settlement.

In fact, Su Yun had also designed a combat settlement. After all, having defeated a Mystery Calamity, there should be rewards. What he designed was that while eliminating the Mystery Calamity, its power would be absorbed and converted into Fantasy Points.

However, although he added this setting, he did not know if it would succeed. After all, these Mystery Calamities are too mysterious; they are extraterrestrial products, not generated by the planet itself. Su Yun's system, to put it bluntly, is a cheat tool created by borrowing the power of the planet itself, and whether it could act upon outsiders remained to be seen.

Therefore, for this first elimination of a Mystery Calamity, Su Yun was somewhat nervous. If the designed combat settlement function could not be achieved, many of his plans would have to be scrapped.

A few seconds later, the combat settlement—or rather, the absorption and conversion of the Mystery Calamity energy—concluded, and the result of obtaining 382 Fantasy Points appeared.

Seeing this, Su Yun couldn't help but raise his right hand and clench his fist tightly. Although he could likely only absorb one-fifth of the Mystery Calamity energy, it was indeed a success.

The system he crafted could indeed absorb a portion of the Mystery Calamity energy left behind by the eliminated Mystery Calamity.

As for the rest, it dissipated into the heavens and earth, leaving nothing behind—this is the world's self-repair function. Once those Mystery Calamities lose their host, they are erased by the world.

This is a self-protection mechanism set by the world's consciousness while it slumbers. Su Yun could not change it, nor did he want to, because if the Mystery Calamity energy were to persist, it would be re-absorbed by its source.

If that were the case, it would be aiding the enemy.

Then, Su Yun's gaze fell upon Artoria in the screen, her remaining Fantasy Manifestation time was less than two hundred seconds.

This couldn't be wasted.

"Although it's a bit early, it was meant for you anyway, Liya, take it! This power that truly belongs to you, this module that is yours!"

At that, Su Yun closed the controls and simultaneously used the system to convert the remaining power, changing its form.

To do this, he invested another 182 points of Fantasy Power to complete the change.

In that instant, Artoria erupted in white light, and like a magical girl de-transforming, she reverted to her original attire, the invisible sword in her hand vanishing.

Simultaneously, she regained control of her body, her vision returning to normal, leaving the girl in a state of utter confusion.

"Huh? Huh huh huh? I... I've changed back?"

Confused, truly confused.

However, Artoria didn't have time to ponder much longer, as personnel from the Strategy Room rushed out at this moment, each displaying extreme excitement and joy, looking at her with eyes full of admiration and even reverence.

Because, under the witness of these people, Artoria had just accomplished the greatest miracle in human history since encountering the eldritch—she, with her own strength, had eliminated a Level 4 eldritch!

The history of humanity's fight against the eldritch was rewritten from this night onward!

At the same time, it represented one thing—that humanity finally possessed the extraordinary power found only in stories!
